Our group is focused on understanding how and why people develop diabetes, by investigating mechanisms leading to loss of insulin release from the pancreatic β cell. In particular, we study the microenvironment or “neighbourhood” in which the β cells live and how changes in this microenvironment contribute to diabetes development. |
